Très belle synergie entre le fruit, l’élevage et la fraîcheur dans le bouquet de Figeac 2022. La fraîcheur, par exemple, par des notes florales, mais aussi par des nuances de garrigues, je dirais même du végétal mûr ! Le fruit avec des notes de cassis et de cerises, puis l’élevage avec de subtiles nuances boisées. En bouche, le vin se distingue par une exceptionnelle harmonie. On n’a pas été forcément chercher la richesse, qui est de toute manière présente, mais bien plus la structure, le tonus, l’énergie que l’on trouve dans Figeac 2022, surtout en fin de bouche. Les tannins se révèlent lentement, à partir du milieu du palais pour atteindre leur amplitude en fin de bouche. Ils confèrent de la puissance, mais également de la sérénité, une sorte de force tranquille. Très belle symbiose entre tous les éléments présents, de l’attaque jusqu’à la finale où apparaît une rafraîchissante salinité. Un vin vibrant, cristallin, précis, vif, ample et apte à défier les décennies à venir. 2029-2052
William Kelley 98-100 points www.erobertparker.com An unusually gourmand, sensual wine from this estate, the 2022 Pichon-Longueville Baron bursts with aromas of crème de cassis, sweet dark berries, licorice, lilac and pencil shavings. On the palate, it’s medium to full-bodied, layered and velvety, with excellent concentration and a rather rich, supple profile. A blend of 81% Cabernet Sauvignon and 19% Merlot, it’s the result of sub-block by sub-block picking and cooler than usual fermentation temperatures.
Antonio Galloni 96-99 www.vinous.com The 2022 Figeac is a magnificent, super-classic Figeac, as odd as that might sound in this freakish vintage. A wine of sublime delicacy and nuance, the 2022 possesses tremendous aromatic presence, finely sculpted fruit and phenomenal persistence. I especially admire the wine’s freshness, energy and clean, mineral finish. The 2022 is a towering Figeac, a wine that brilliantly showcases the unique qualities of this site. Figeac is a rare Right Bank estate with gravel and blue clay soils that are not often found here, planted approximately with equal parts Merlot, Cabernet Franc and Cabernet Sauvignon.
Georgina Hindle 98-100 points www.decanter.com An incredibly impressive wine in 2022 shaping up to be the wine of the vintage not only as it seems to defy the hot and dry conditions in every way but delivers such confidence and charm it makes it hard to resist. Gorgeous aromatic expression on the nose, open and alive, generous scents of bright bramble fruit and floral notes as well as graphite and cedar. Smooth, supple and generous on the palate, tannins are silky and perfectly weighted giving roundness but also structure with a red berry juiciness and saline bite that is so compelling. Vibrant, dynamic, balanced and precise, the energy is outstanding yet there’s still depth, weight and power underneath. There’s not a single thing out of place – utterly seductive and totally moreish. A great effort from the estate now proudly displaying their upgrade to St-Emilion Premier Grand Cru Classé A for the first time as of the new classification. 3.7pH. 8% press wine. 82% grand vin production. Harvest 1 – 26 September, the earliest ever. 98-100 points.
Neal Martin 97-99 www.vinous.com The 2022 Figeac was picked between 1-26 September with the pH of 3.7 and 14% alcohol. This wine combines both Left Bank and Right Bank traits due to its blend (as usual), but this year leans more to the Right Bank despite a slightly lower contribution of Cabernet Sauvignon. It is very well defined, fresh and shows lively black fruit, incense and nuanced Chinese tea aromas. The palate is beautifully balanced with a lightly spiced entry, fine depth and with plenty of concentration counterbalanced by finesse toward the graphite-infused finish. Its saline aftertaste beckons you back for another sip. An appropriate way to start your tenure as a Grand Cru Classé « A ».
Jeb Dunnuck 96-98+ points www.jebdunnuck.com A beautiful wine that, shockingly, reminds me of the 2016, the 2022 Château Figeac checks in as 35% Merlot, 34% Cabernet Franc, and 31% Cabernet Sauvignon that was harvested from the 1st of September to the 25th. Director Frédéric Faye commented that verasion took longer than usual, and they had to do a slight green harvest to get uniform ripeness. The results are stunning. The wine has a vivid purple hue as well as remarkable freshness and purity in its black and blue fruits, which are followed by notes of wild herbs, chocolate, graphite, spring flowers, and a touch of classic Cabernet Sauvignon graphite. Medium to full-bodied on the palate, it has a silky, elegant mouthfeel, beautiful tannins, and a great finish. This classic, ultra-precise Figeac is going to warrant a solid decade of bottle age and be very long-lived given its purity and balance.
Jean-Marc Quarin 96 points www.quarin.com Couleur sombre, intense et pourpre. Nez très aromatique, fin, fruité, subtil, parfumé et délicat. Bouche tout en grâce tactile, avec une folle élégance dans le toucher et une texture noble qui m’a donné envie d’un peu plus de puissance entre le milieu et la finale, d’un peu moins de prudence. Belle persistance incrachable. Assemblage : 37 % merlot, 32 % cabernet franc, 31 % cabernet sauvignon. Degré d’alcool : 13°8 – pH : 3,7. Rendement : 40 hl/ha. Production : 75 % de premier vin.
